    This was so much more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

    Lots of fun, often silly, sometimes scary but ultimately, didn’t take itself too seriously which I think is quite refreshing for an RE film.

    Visually, gorgeous with its influences showing. Lush score which again felt far more “mainstream” and almost, predictable but in a really good way.

    Cast… what a cast. Nicholas Hoult proving once again that he’s a blood force to be reckoned with, giving one of…

    My favourite film!

    I deliberately don’t watch my favourite films as often as other so it’s been a few years since I watched this so….

    A few things that I don’t love as much… sonar… it’s too easy… the third act feels a little added on last minute as the film could quite easily end after Dent’s accident with a bit of an epilogue.

    What I love….. performances, cast are firing, lots of fun nods to comic and tv joker….…
